SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 754,898,- dated. March 15, 1904- Application filed November 5,1903. Serial No. 179,979. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, W LLIAM O. SoHELL- HAMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Salina, in the county of Boulder and State of Colorado, have invented a new and useful Ironing-Table, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to portable ironing tables or boards adapted to be temporarily attached to a table or other support, and has for its object to improve the construction of such devices and produce a board which may be quickly adjusted to tables or other supports of various heights and provided with an auxiliary board for ironing sleeves, shirt-bosoms, drawer and pant legs, childrens clothing, and for similar purposes; and the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter shown and described, and specified in the claim. 1

In the drawings illustrative of the invention, in which corresponding parts are denoted by like designating characters, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device applied. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partially in section, illus trating the detail of the construction. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing details of the leg and sleeve board connections. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the table and supporting-leg structure, the parts being shown in inverted position.

The improved device comprises the table or main board member 10 of the usual size and form, provided with a longitudinal recess 11 in its inner end and provided with hinge members 12 13 at the base of the recess, upon 0pposite sides thereof.

The leg member is represented at 14, provided intermediately of its ends with the complementary hinge member 15, connected with the hinge members 12 13 by a pintle 16. By this means the leg member is hinged to the table member and projectable through the recess therein, as shown. In the rear face of the leg member a transverse recess 17 is formed for engagement with the edge of a table 18 or other body from which the ironing-table 10 is supported. Above the recess 17 are formed oppositely-disposed recesses 19 20 in the sides or edges of the leg member, and within these latter recesses spaced arms 21 22 upon a sleeveboard 28 are adapted to fit and by which means the sleeve-board may be detachably supported in position to project over the ironing-table 10 and spaced therefrom, as shown.

The lower portion of the leg member 14 is provided with a longitudinal recess 24, in which an extension leg member 25 is slidably disposed.

Attached to the leg member 14, near its lower end, is a lower guide-band 26, through which the extension member 25 moves, and attached to the member 25, near its upper end, is a similar upper guide-band 27 the latter band like- Wise inclosing the leg member 14 and carrying a clamp-screw 28, hearing against the leg member 14, as shown. By this simple means the extension leg member 25 may be readily adjusted within the recess 24 in the leg member 14 and firmly supported at all points of the adjustment. serted between the band 27 and the leg member 14 to receive the thrust of the clampscrew and prevent abrasion of the leg member.

By this simple arrangement a very complete, convenient, and easily erected and adjusted ironing-board is produced which may be employed for all the various purposes for which such devices are used.

The parts may be constructed in any desired size and of any suitable material, as circumstances may require.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is- In an ironing-board, the table member having a recess in one end, a leg member intermediately hinged to said table member at the base of said recess and projectable therethrough said leg member provided with a transverse recess in its rear side for engagement with a support and with oppositely-disposed recesses in its side edges in advance of said rear recess, and a sleeve-board having longitudinal spaced arms for detachable engagement with said side recesses,substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM o. SCHELLHAMER.
